1 And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting, asked him to shew them a sign from heaven. 2 And he having answered, said to them, It being evening, ye say, Calm weather: for the heaven is fiery red. 3 And in the morning, Today, wintry weather: for heaven, being sad, is fiery red. Hypocrites, truly ye know to decide the face of heaven, but the signs of the times ye cannot. 4 An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign; and no sign shall be given her, except the sign of Jonas the prophet. And having left them, he departed. 5 And his disciples having come to the other side, forgot to take loaves. 6 And Jesus said to them, Attend and keep from the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees. 7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, Because we took no loaves. 8 And Jesus having known, said to them, Why reason ye among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have taken no loaves. 9 Do ye not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of five thousand, and how many baskets ye took? 10 Nor the seven loaves of four thousand, and how many wicker baskets ye took? 11 How do ye not understand that I spake not to you concerning bread, to keep from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees? 12 Then understood they that he spake, not to keep from the leaven of bread, but from the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 13 And Jesus, having come into the parts of Caesarea of Philippi, asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say me to be, the Son of Man? 14 And they said, Some, truly, John the Baptist: and others, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 And he says to them, But whom say ye me to be? 16 And Simon Peter having answered, said, Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus, having answered, said to him, Happy art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood has not revealed to thee, but my Father, he in the heavens. 18 And I say to thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock will I build my church; and the gates of hell shall not overcome her.
